[When I was a child I had a relationship with an imaginary friend too. I out grew it.]
Are you really serious? Do you really think you can equate the God who created this universe with a "imaginary friend". EVEN IF you really were deceived into believing that, you should at least be sane enough to know that I am not going to be deceived into believing nonsense like that. Do you have aluminum foil in your hat also?

"Are you really serious? Do you really think you can equate the God who created this universe with a 'imaginary friend'."
Yes, Johnny, I'm absolutely serious, except that since he is an imaginary being, "God" did not create anything.
"EVEN IF you really were deceived into believing that,"
Let's be careful whom we are calling "deceived," Johnny. After all, it's you who believe in talking snakes, one man's sin cursing the whole human race, a flying roll which burns the houses of thieves, heaven, hell, resurrection of the dead, etc. I simply advocate for the use of reason and logic.
"you should at least be sane enough to know that I am not going to be deceived into believing nonsense like that."
No, I admit that I believe your delusion to be so strong that my words of reason have little chance of positively effecting you.
"Do you have aluminum foil in your hat also?"
No, only wild-eyed, crackpots, like you, seem attracted to the aluminum foil beanie look.
Well, there is a problem. If a person uses a person who we can´t see or feel, to justify all sorts of attrocities like the siege of Jerusalem in 990 or the genocide in Jericoh, well, you have to prove it exists, it´s the moral logical pass, as we do when we have to feed, leave place or play with the imaginary friend of our little brothers and don´t look like jerks. On the contrary, if you are compassionate and do well to people, even if God doesn´t exist, people would like to believe there is such a thing(as Voltaire said, if there is no God, we´ll have to invent it). So, yes, the image of the imaginary friend is perfect here, not because we´re asuming that God doesn´t exist(it´s something impossible to prove), but the way you present it.
"Aw how cute, he's [sic] learnt about tinfoil hats... He can understand concepts directed at him a few thousand times.
Shame he can't apply them, but it's a start."
JohnR7 is correct here, you pos.
"Since 'the God who created this universe' has as much proof of his existance [sic] as any imaginary friend, yes."
I suggest you read some philosophical treatments of God's existence. (Or, more appropriately, have them read to you.)

Reason and logic? Bitch please. You clearly lack the native intelligence to argue against theism.
Brennin, does "Errare humanum est" ring a bell?
People make mistakes, mis-type, think faster than they can type, get angry and can't articulate clearly. Give them the benefit of the doubt, ok, and try to understand what they want to say. That is the mark of greatness and intelligence.
If A picks on B for spelling errors and then make some himself, then you can get on with your [sic]-ing.
To JohnR7; no, I have never used tinfoil as hats, I usually cover gratins with it before sticking them in the oven.
The minute you show tangible evidence for the existence of your god, I will stop bringing up "imaginary friend" analogies, I promise!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
